LINUX Server

[n72.75]

I currently have a Linux server setup and am willing to create user names and let users from the orbiter community for free.

Just PM me with the desired username and password and I will set up the account and PM you back with a confirmation.

The address is humemw.dnsalias.net

Just use an SSH client like Putty the port is 22.

What's the speed of uplink/downlink of the server? If it's fast enough, it might serve me as a buffer for uploading large add-ons (>112 MB, or an hour for me) to OHM, or downloading big files (>75 MB, or 10 minutes for me) from Doug's page.

Giving random people from the internet access to your machine.

Yeah, sounds like a wonderful idea.

Just saying.

:thumbup:

Hmmm... I've been wanting to learn to use SSH. I might go for this...

What's there to "learn"? To connect from a unix-like client, you just type

ssh user@host

Enter password (if any) and you're on.

Signed up. By the way, what distribution of GNU/Linux is this on, and what version of ssh server are you running?

EDIT: pinged the server, got timeout. Trouble with DDNS?

So, um what exactly is the purpose of setting up this server? Just for fun?

Fedora 12. OpenSSH 5.3p1

I should check with my ISP

Yes

It might just be that pinging is disabled for security reasons.
OF and OHM can't be pinged either.

Either that, but SSHD isn't running or is blocked by iptables too, or something is wrong with DDNS.
I don't know what should be returned for dynamic DNS, but "nslookup humemw.dnsalias.net" has returned for me "can't find... Server failed".

Unable to connect to port 22 using a port scanner:

I currently have a Linux server setup[...]

Might have been a bit prematurely in that case

Might have been a bit prematurely in that case

I have no trouble SSHing in to my server as long as I do it from the same ISP, I think that they're blocking incoming query's and will ask them to lift the ban on my IP address.

It is likely they will tell you to read your Terms of Service, where they are likely to have rules banning servers.
